OM: a manager discusses with a foreign club

Olympique de Marseille officially announced the recruitment of Ukrainian Ruslan Malinovskyi on Monday. Eager not to stop there, the Marseille club hopes to continue its transfer window, with a piston and another offensive element. However, it is in the direction of the departures that OM could be agitated, its next days.

A major element of Marseille since his arrival at the club in the summer of 2021, Mattéo Guendouzi is nevertheless experiencing a season which is not necessarily idyllic at OM. If he plays a lot, the 23-year-old Frenchman must adapt to a new position, under the orders of the Croatian Igor Tudor. Central midfielder Mattéo Guendouzi, who was called up to the 2022 World Cup by Didier Deschamps, is overtaken by Jordan Veretout and Valentin Rongier. The former Arsenal midfielder therefore plays a lot (22 games, ), but higher up the pitch, in number 10, behind the striker (most often Alexis Sanchez).

A problem for the player, who does not shine statistically (3 goals, 3 assists) but more by his clumsiness in the opposing area. That could change in a very short time.

Guendouzi reflects “seriously” to an offer

Indeed, according to the revelations of the newspaper The TeamMattéo Guendouzi would have received a contract offer “consequent” of a Premier League club, whose identity has not been filtered. The Marseille management is thinking of Aston Villa, without certainty. The English club has already nicked Boubacar Kamara from OM for free last summer.

This proposal would “seriously think about” the midfielder passed by the Gunners between 2018 and 2021. Pablo Longoria, the president of OM, had no ambition to sell the midfielder this winter, but rather next summer. Mattéo Guendouzi being under contract until 2025, the current 3rd in Ligue 1 has his hands on the file, all the more so if no concrete offer arrives on the table from Pablo Longoria, as is currently the case.

But if not, OM will have to think. Estimated at 25M euros by the site Transfermarktthe French international (7 selections) could be transferred if Marseille finds its account, after the sale of Gerson for nearly 15 million euros.
